Bit strange seeing as Huddersfield host Reading on the final day anyway. On yesterday’s evidence they should have no concerns.
Exactly right.
Incredible desperation from Huddersfield to make such a complaint.
Can't help but not want a Sunderland win, so here's hoping for a drab 0-0Considering WBA’s game in hand, a Sunderland win would probably be best followed by a draw.
really not sure as sunderland have winnable games and momentum - would prefer them out of the race, and Burnley to beat BlackburnConsidering WBA’s game in hand, a Sunderland win would probably be best followed by a draw.

anything but 2 wins then for either Blackburn or Millwall and a win v Birmingham would be enough
Draw is the best result however a Sunderland loss pretty much rules them out. We could then potentially rule 5 teams out with a win on saturdayBest case scenario is a draw. Again, why would we want either of them closing in?
Burnley under investigation for fielding a weakened side v Reading, could be points deduction and fine. I think a 10 point deduction would make things very interesting

They didn’tHow can you be punished for using registered squad players?
They didn’t
Don't think that's right.I've just worked out a few scenarios and I think if Blackburn lose to burnley , we beat blues we will not need to win at boro
If blackburn fail to beat Burnley though , it's in our handsDon't think that's right.
We win at blues, we will be on 69, a draw at Middlesboro will put on 70, we can't get 71. A win at Middlesboro and Blues will give us 72
As of today Millwall can get 71, Sunderland can get 71, West Brom can get 72 even if they lose to Sunderland and have a GD similar to ours.
I count 14 players in squad v Reading that also were in squad for the previous game. EFL guidelines say 10. No case to answer.They didn’t
Five thirty eight reckons we finish 5th on 69We’re tying ourselves in knots with these permutations

The irony being they played their 'full strength' team yesterday vs QPR & lost.
It's actually in our hands now - if we win both, no-one can catch us. Still think that if we beat Blues that might be enough (can't be ars*d to work out if that's true). Better for us Sunderland winning than West Brom.Bastards.
Unlikely but assuming Baggies and Blackburn did both win their games in hand, it would be ultra tight between us and West Brom GD wise. Such a close end to the season, the neutrals and EFL must be happy.It's actually in our hands now - if we win both, no-one can catch us.

Sheffield Utd v West Brom will likely be a feisty affair (likely to suit Sheff Utd rather than West Brom, I would have thought) Just beat Blues and see where we are. Everything crossed.Unlikely but assuming Baggies and Blackburn did both win their games in hand, it would be ultra tight between us and West Brom GD wise.

Luton Middlesbrough tonight.
Who do we want / need to win / draw?
Luton are home and were beaten in playoffs last year (will want autism at all costs) and 3 points gives them a glimmer (just a glimmer) of autos if SUFC implode (stranger things).
Luton after have Blackburn A (winnable) Hull Home (same).
My guess is Luton will go full gun and this leaves Boro knowing 4th is most likely. Nothing to gain by going full hammer against a scrapping Rotherham away in their next match.
That leaves the final game against us which will be to them a dead rubber. I can see them trying to avoid injuries and being totally focussed on play offs.
Just thoughts.
Luton win, want Boro with nothing to play for and one eye on the playoffs.
Luton will have nothing to play for against Burnley
Blackburn?Luton will have nothing to play for against Burnley
Perhaps they’ll have a mindset that if they allow us 5th they’ll play us next game. Maybe they’ll rest best players and get their second choice CBs to kick Gyok to bits knowing that even a card / pen doesn’t matter.Luton win, want Boro with nothing to play for and one eye on the playoffs.
